Excellent summation of where we find our selves. The system cannot be changed from the top down. The hard work necessary will come from the bottom up. The top offers shit sandwiches and calls it choice. Only when the masses refuse what's offered will we move toward positive change.

This is one of your best posts, and it is timely indeed. I am glad you didn't completely isolate yourself in what sounds like a lovely cottage.

All we can do is to stay vigilant .. keep raising awaremess and then just pray or hope or burn some sage!! Or all of the above!! LOL

Global insanity is right!

I think it's crashing though! So many signs all over the place!

They over did it .. cow farts/ bovaer and plandemic show a level of desperation on their part that is back firing, it is waking up even those that do not want to see the truth. Or at least silence them. It has started, crumbling governments and all!!

Thank you!!

Not exactly looking forward to 2025...Trump/Musk making for rather tumultuous years.

Thanks for the link I haven't been there for a long time, used to read it regularly.

Don't agree with McCord's four legacy empire thesis. It is basically a China/ US confrontation. Russia is in a fight for its life facing American aggression and France is residual. Its a long road back for all of Europe after 75 years of colonization and the economic ruination of going to war against Russia.

The bottom line for me is that we are at point in history where nobody can afford these wars. The magnitude of impacts are ruinous to all affecting a highly integrated and interdependent planet. Until Washington repudiates its endless warfare we are in a global crisis deleterious to planetary survival.

These countries that are conducting the never ending colonial wars of conquest just won't learn. They absolutely REFUSE to listen to real humans, which is the overwhelming majority of the world. All they think of is EXTRACTING from everywhere and everyone (look up how many private prisons are being built and the harsh sentences for more and more petty crimes that only the poor have to commit to survive. Do you know why? Slavery is and always has been profitable.)

The Kakistocracy are only in power because of cruelty and money and gullible people.

To be very clear, those countries that are projecting wars are desperately trying to poker strategize a victory, but are running out of chips. They seem to be prepared for the, " If WE cannot win this conflict then EVERYBODY IS GOING TO LOSE."

In other words, the 'SAMSON OPTION".

That's exactly the US strategy with the Wolfowitz Doctrine -- if Washington can't win it makes sure nobody else does which means forever preemptive wars... regardless of costs and consequences.

Thanks!

Yes, the Wolfowitz Doctrine.

Do not agree with this article by McCoy. He equates protagonists with antagonists.

That is bull shit! Russia is in an existential fight for it's survival; the U$A vs. China is where the protagonist, the U$A, has fully lost it's influence of soft power - it is now the barrel of a near empty gun.
